Given:
Partial floor framing for Rm A at the College of Engineering is provided in Figure The floor framing consists
of oneway concrete joists spaced at centers. The concrete joists have a clear span of between
concrete girders.
Figure Partial floor framing for Rm A
A section through the joists is shown in Figure The thickness of the concrete floor slab is is reinforced
with # bars spaced at oc in the direction parallel with the concrete joists. The bottom of each joist is
reinforced with a # bar. The distance between adjacent joist webs is The side of each joist is tapered at a
slope of and
Figure Section through concrete joist framing
All concrete joists are constructed monolithically with the concrete slab and girders. For this reason, the joists are
continuous span members and have both negative and positive bending moments. The maximum negative
moment occurs at the face of each girderjoist connection, and the maximum positive moment occurs at
midspan. Instead of completing a structural analysis using influence diagrams to find these moments, ACl allows
analysis using the ACI coefficients in Table To find the maximum moment, multiply the ACl coefficient
by the uniform floor load and the square of the clear span where wu ACl coefficients for the
concrete floor joists are shown in Figure

Required:
Part A
Assume psi concrete and Grade steel. Find the design flexural strength of the concrete joists for
positive and negative bending Hint: In regions of negative bending, the distance to the reinforcing steel will
be from the bottom of the joist to the steel in the slab. Recall that all concrete below the neutral axis is assumed
to be cracked. The joist taper and steel located at the bottom of the web may be ignored for the flexural
analysis in negative bending regions.
Part
In addition to the selfweight of the floor framing system, there is a superimposed dead load of for
mechanical ducts, electrical wiring, and ceiling loads. Determine the maximum uniform floor live load psf at
the service level that can be carried by the joists.
